Why is reverend Hale in Salem?

Answer 1

In the story "The Crucible," Reverend Hale goes to Salem because he is an expert on demonic arts, and Reverend Parris wants him to examine Betty.

The reason for why he returned was because He came back to try and get the people who are about to be hanged to confess in order to save their lives. He tries to get Danforth to postpone the hangings as well. Hale now knows the trials were lies started by teenage girls who got caught doing something wrong. He is mostly concerned for Rebecca Nurse and John Proctor who are the first of the town's upstanding citizens to be hanged. He wants them to confess so they won't hang. He's trying to save their lives. Act four- Danforth: "You baffle me, sir. Why have you returned here? Hale: "Why, it is all simple. i come to do the devil's work. I come to counsel christians they should belie themselves. there is blood on my head! can not see the blood on my head!!" To pray with the people who are condemned to hang.
